Here's a breakdown from casting director Richard Hicks looking for a
blind/low-vision actress between the ages of 18-25. He's asking interested
actresses who aren't in the LA area to put themselves on tape. Please
contact me for script.

Thanks,

Please pass this along to any blind or partially blind actress who fits what
we are looking for.


We are working on a film for HBO called 'Temple Grandin'. It is the is of
a gifted, autistic woman (Temple), who was able to reach across the divide
separating her from society to become a college professor and one of the
country's leading experts on the humane treatment of livestock. Claire
Danes is playing the role of 'Temple'.


We are seeking to cast the role of ALICE. In our film, she is a blind
student at Franklin Pierce College and college roommate of Temple Grandin
(Claire Danes). She is relaxed and poised - a genuine and sweet soul.
The role has four small scenes with Claire Danes. We are looking for
someone 18 - 25 years old who can believable play 18.


We are exploring both blind and sighted actresses, and are hoping to get
actresses to put themselves on video reading the scene and send it to us.
